auto hubs........ i know i had to say it - Page 3

extreme-4x4 · 06-02-2009, 22:06

took them apart as per download and went a bit further to remove brake rings etc. cleaned all and greased.

the truck wobbles and pulls to the left but the left side looked good
now i can see the pics and understand

however the right side looked like it had water in it at some point and some rust the big drum with cog's in inside the auto hub didn't move as free and i could not get it to lock-unlock position when dismantled...i could with the left

to be honest i think its dead or dieing fast its back together but no better

manuals i think or try the breakers
shame all the rings etc are good its that drum that seems seized

Well uhmmm
rebuild both sides and you really need to do that to make i work.
I wasted a good new hub kit because i didnt.
If you have new working against old it will break.or sieze

i wish I lived closer I would pop my old autos round so you could use them

Good luck

extreme-4x4 · 08-02-2009, 19:29

really need help now

zippy656 · 08-02-2009, 19:47

have you lifted the front up? if so ive read some where on here you might hve gone a bit to high. the CV joints could be hiting its self with the angle beeing a little to much.

yep, just read it tonight..

oh well, just trying to get away from my normal drivel.. i DID help some new member early withthe s AT switch..

extreme-4x4 · 09-02-2009, 18:54

still got the problem in 4wd the stearing is all ok and ive changed the auto hubs but its pulling from side to side and feels like its tripping over its front wheels..

could it be the diff oil needs changing ?
or
replace the brake rings etc on the auto hubs ?

this is all i can think it is its not like its loose its like its just swiching drive wheels really quickly and very often

come on guys throw some ideas at me

jims-terrano · 09-02-2009, 20:24

I've heard in the past that old oil in the transfer box thickens at low temps. The solution to that is suposed to be replace with Synthetic. Surely can't be a bad idea to change the transfer box oil if you don't know it's history.

Are your back an front tyres all the same size? ie not different makes, or worn lower on one axle. (The same rolling radius)

extreme-4x4 · 09-02-2009, 21:46

yes all matching tires in size make and model,

one thing i have noticed if you take it easy up to 30mph in 4wd its not too noticeable or bad, but if you give it welly in 4wd its all over the place

jims-terrano · 09-02-2009, 21:51

If you jack it up and grab the wheel top and bottom and then each side and shake is there any movement in either plane? Not sure how you would test it but what about CV joints or UJ's.
